Yummy, in San Francisco we had Roasted Tomatoes and Leek soup, boned leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, braised Brussels sprouts with coppa, "gratin dauphinois" , red cabbage braised with balsamic vinegar and red wine and a Christmas compote with a variety of dried fruits cooked very slowly in red wine, sugar and spices. Delicious!

Must admit Gala, that the hardest part was finding the buttermilk to marinade the deer in over here. Thankfully, our friendly cheese making farmer came up with it, so 30hrs marinating, with lardons inserted. Quickly seared in a pan and then oven cooked on high heat for 20 mins. Beautiful and pink,tender as well. The red cabbage, is to a German recipe. Finely chopped onions fried in lard, chopped apple, red wine vinegar, so very similar to what you had made.
